Rotterdam is a nice multicultural city in the Dutch province 'Zuid Holland' and the second largest city after the capital Amsterdam. The city is situated by the Maas river, near the North sea. Rotterdam has a very nice city centre which is great for shopping and going out. It has lots of nice restaurants and bars.
Rotterdam is mostly known for its harbour which is the largest port in Europe, and has been awarded best port in the world many times. Rotterdam is also known for its skyline. In World War II, large parts of Rotterdam have been destroyed during never ending bombing raids. The city has been rebuilt though not to its former glory but in an innovative modern style. The many glass and steel high-rises give Rotterdam its nickname: Manhattan by the Maas.

As soon as we passed the Dutch border, the sun broke trough the clouds and led us al the way. In all honosty I have to say, we had one little shower near Rotterdam as well. But for the first time today, we had the sun we were desperately longing for. In the Netherlands, it had been raining large parts of the day as well. Moisture was still in the air. Somewhere between Breda and Rotterdam therefore, we were treated to some very nice rainbows.With the sun and the rainbows, plus my affe...

Although you wouldn't say so when walking in this town, Rotterdam is an old city. It got it's name of its situation on the small river Rotte where people made a dam. The place has even older city rights than its rival city Amsterdam. Count William III granted the place in 1328. About 30 years later the city got walls of which you still can see a part hanging on the roof of the underground train station Blaak. The oldest big building is the Laurenskerk, for a part surviving world war II. On Ma...
